Congratulations on your win. It surely was well deserved. I love the black and white, and the way you have softened the whole effect. This baby is beautiful, and you have captured a mother's love.

Unusual artistic flow of hair and shapes enhances the loving aura of this image of the very young baby and her beautiful and loving mother. My admiration, thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon

Excellent entry for the contest. Lovely capture showing the love between mother and her baby daughter. Beautiful capture for the family album. The conversion to black and white adds impact. Very good lighting and focus. Beautiful composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

This is such a precious and endearing image that easily provokes emotions. I think the black and white format is flattering and the pose you captured is priceless.
